‘Concept’ is an archive of initial reactions, of first thoughts, of the archetypal sketch on a napkin. It is a celebration of the sketch and of the first spark of an idea before it has solidified.

Sketches from all creative walks come together to create a room of possibilities. Some are ideas which have not come into fruition but are beautiful pieces in themselves, others express the potential of work to come, while still others are recognisable within their final forms. ‘Concept’ catches an ephemeral moment – the start of a process, a fleeting thought which is often consigned to the waste basket, but is displayed here as a record of such sparks.

This year’s Postcards From the Edge benefit for Visual AIDS is the most successful event ever had! More than 1,200 people came out to see the show and collect some art – and to date over $113,000 has been raised!
